Apple iPhone 17 Pro rumoured to come with these camera upgrades
The tipster revealed three major upgrades that haven't surfaced in previous leaks:
* A telephoto lens with up to 8× optical zoom, a leap from the 5× zoom on the iPhone 16 Pro. The lens is said to be movable, allowing for continuous zoom across focal lengths.
* An all-new Pro Camera app for advanced photo and video controls, potentially rivaling third-party apps like Halide and Filmic Pro. It's unclear if this app will be exclusive to the Pro models or a major update to Apple's existing Final Cut Camera app.

* A second Camera Control button on the top edge of the device, complementing the one introduced on the iPhone 16 series.
These features align with Apple's reported push to attract vloggers and video creators, with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously noting that the company plans to emphasise video recording capabilities over photography this year
Other rumored additions include a copper-like color option, a centered Apple logo, and the ability to record with front and rear cameras simultaneously—a feature tipped by Front Page Tech's Jon Prosser.
Beyond the zoom and app improvements, other rumored camera enhancements for the iPhone 17 Pro include:
* Larger Sensors: Potentially allowing for better low-light performance and improved dynamic range.
* Enhanced Computational Photography: Further leveraging Apple's prowess in software processing to produce even more stunning images.
* Improved Video Capabilities: Building on the iPhone's strong reputation for video recording, with possible upgrades to resolution, frame rates, or cinematic effects.

Google's antitrust appeal fails in legal battle with Fortnite maker
A federal appeals court has upheld a jury verdict condemning Google's Android app store as an illegal monopoly, clearing the way for a federal judge to enforce a potentially disruptive shakeup that's designed to give consumers more choices. Epic Games scores legal victory as court confirms Google's Android app store violates antitrust laws.(Unsplash) The unanimous ruling issued Thursday by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals delivers a double-barrelled legal blow for Google, which has been waylaid in three separate antitrust trials that resulted in different pillars of its internet empire being declared as domineering scofflaws monopolies since late 2023. The unsuccessful appeal represents a major victory for video game maker Epic Games, which launched a legal crusade targeting Google's Play Store for Android apps and Apple's iPhone app store nearly five years ago in an attempt to bypass exclusive payment processing systems that charged 15% to 30% commissions on in-app transactions. The jury's December 2023 rebuke of Google's app store for Android-powered smartphones began a cascade of setbacks that includes monopoly judgements against the company's ubiquitous search engine last year and the technology underlying its digital ad network earlier this year. Although not as lucrative as Google's search engine or ad system, the Play Store for Android apps has long been a gold mine that generated billions of dollars in annual revenue by taking a 15% to 30% cut from in-app transactions funnelled through the company's own payment processing system. Following a month-long trial, a nine-person jury determined that Google had rigged its system to thwart alternative app stores from offering better deals to consumers and software developers. That verdict resulted in US District Judge James Donato ordering Google to tear down digital walls shielding the Play Store from competition, triggering the company's appeal to overturn the jury's finding and void the judge's mandated shakeup. But a three-judge panel that heard Google's appeal in February rejected its lawyers' contention that Donato erred by allowing the case to be determined by a jury that deviated from the market definition outlined by another federal judge who mostly sided with Apple in Epic's case against the iPhone maker's app store. Epic's lawsuit "was replete with evidence that Google's anticompetitive conduct entrenched its dominance, causing the Play Store to benefit from network effects," the judges wrote in the decision. Unless Google can extend the enforcement delay placed on Donato's order issued last October, the company will have to begin an overhaul that includes making the Play Store's entire library of more than 2 million Android apps available to would-be rivals and also help distribute the alternative options. Google has argued that the required revisions will raise privacy and security risks by exposing consumers to scam artists and hackers masquerading as legitimate app stores. But Epic's lawyers have ridiculed Google's warnings about the changes as scare tactics in a desperate attempt to protect the fortunes of its corporate parent Alphabet Inc. Although Epic fell short in its attempt to have the iPhone's app store declared a monopoly, that case resulted in a judge issuing an order that required Apple to surrender exclusive control over the payment processing of in-app transactions and allow links to alternative systems without collecting a commission. Besides being hit with Donato's order, Google still faces further trouble ahead that could leave an even bigger dent in its finances. As part of the effort to address Google's illegal monopoly in search, a federal judge is weighing a proposal by the US Justice Department that would require the sale of its Chrome web browser and ban the multibillion dollar deals that company has been making with Apple and others to lock-in its search engine as the main gateway to the internet. Google is also facing a proposed breakup of its advertising technology as part of the countermeasures to its monopoly in that business. A trial on that proposal is scheduled to begin in September.

Samsung's JB Park reveals why the company has not yet launched Trifold smartphone
Samsung officially confirmed the existence of its trifold smartphone last month, announcing plans to launch the device by the end of this year. A top executive has now offered insight into why the South Korean tech giant deliberately delayed the commercial release. According to JB Park , president and CEO, Samsung Southwest Asia, the company focused on a more fundamental question before rushing to market: whether consumers would truly see the value in such a product. 'The question is, will we tri-fold it, quadruple it, or why do we need to do it? The first question is, why do we need it? If you unfold the tri-fold or quadruple fold, how big will it be? And why do we need to roll it or fold it? I think the fundamental question is, will consumers see the value of it?' Park told The Times of India Tech in a response to a question about the next evolution of the company's foldable smartphones . Park suggested that the decision to hold back on a trifold smartphone is a strategic one, aimed at avoiding a bulky form factor that doesn't significantly benefit the user. 'If you can carry a laptop, do you want to fold a laptop to make it smaller? If you have a tablet, do you want to fold your tablet to make it smaller?' Park questioned. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain (Search Now) Knee Pain Treatment | Search Ads Undo 'I think it really doesn't give a benefit because it becomes so bulky. Yes, the technology is available, but we don't market it. We don't commercialise it, because I don't think it makes sense ,' he explained, soon after the company launched the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip 6SE smartphones at the Galaxy Unpacked event in New York. JB Park on where does AI 'unfolds' in the next era When asked about the next-generation AI features that customers can expect in smartphones in the coming months and in distant future, Park said that Samsung believes will be defined by artificial intelligence (AI). The representative stated that the future of AI will be about on-device AI that is independent of the cloud but can connect to it to perform complex tasks. "Tomorrow, I think it's more of how people are using the AI. Whether it's productivity or coding, engineering or in your academic research when you have to write your term paper, the AI kicks in," he explained. This advanced, on-device AI will be powerful enough to guide users toward better solutions, effectively replacing a laptop for many tasks. Notably, Samsung's newest foldable smartphones – Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 – feature a string of AI tools and features that align with the company's broader focus on delivering a smarter and more meaningful user experience. The company partnered with Google to power Galaxy AI features. Park pointed to a specific example for the Indian market, where its AI could assist with real-time, simultaneous translation for the country's many different dialects. 'That's where I think it will assist on not only in translation. Like in India, you have so many dialects that you need someone to interpret. Tomorrow, it will all be done simultaneously on the devices. So you don't have to memorise things. You don't have to have an opinion of a lawyer or doctor. You just can have a massive intelligence that's connected on your device to a cloud that can guide you to a better solution,' Park noted. The executive concluded by saying that as the AI technology evolves, Samsung will be the pioneer in moving towards that direction. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7: 7 UNMATCHED Features No Other Foldable Has!
